About Me

Welcome!

I have been a traveller for many years. I love journeys and new places. When I was younger I travelled to new places, mostly. Ireland, USA, UK, Zimbabwe and plenty around my home country of South Africa. Then I got married and relocated overseas, via the Middle East and then ending up eventually in my wife’s home country of New Zealand. I have been to India, and South Korea, and travel extensively to Australia.

4 kids and a mortgage later, my most important journeys nowadays are journeys of discovery through the growth and shepherding of myself and my family. What a privilege that is!

I work in Human Resources and have a passion for the potential that exists both within people, and in each and every situation. There is always an opportunity to grow and be better. I love helping people and organisations to find and exploit those opportunities.

I once had a dream of writing “Notes from the Road”… meanderings and discoveries that have meant something to me, and might mean something to others.

On these pages I will explore ideas around parenting, marriage, family and friends. I will also look at workplace issues that interest me where I feel I can add something of value. In this blog, my goal is very simple. I hope to reduce some basic life issues… things we all grapple with, that can feel so complicated sometimes – to reduce them to ideas and concepts that can easily be grasped and worked through. Sometimes all it takes is a new perspective and complicated issues can become simple. Hopefully I can contribute that to someone’s world, somewhere.

I am not a professional counsellor and make no pretense about that. But I love life, and I love people, and I love the idea that we can add value to each other.

I am unrepentantly a person of deep and strong faith, but I will write neutrally and always honestly, so that those with a different foundation can access these ideas freely.

If you would like to join me as I explore these ideas, it would be a privilege. Please follow me and lets see where this goes!

We are "Not Just" who we seem to be on this Earthly plane, but so much more. We are ALL children of a loving God who is calling us home to Love. This blog is dedicated to those of us on that journey together...
